The Association of Comms and Technology (ACT) is calling for urgent regulatory and government action on the loadshedding crisis in South Africa, fearing that the impact on an already hard-hit information and communication technology (ICT) sector will worsen during the colder months, when, invariably, loadshedding is more severe. Following State-owned power utility Eskom’s announcement of Stage 6 loadshedding earlier this week following the failure of two generating units, ACT, in a media statement issued late on Wednesday, expressed deep concern about the worsening status of loadshedding in South Africa.
